6 important questions on Healthy research: study designs for public health

if an interviewer elicits or interprets exposure information differently when the disease status of the individual is known

interviewer bias

people with disease recall their exposures or experiences more precisely than or otherwise differently from those without disease, which can lead to an overestimation of the effect of that exposure on disease. It can also be the other way around when people feel guilty about certain exposures like smoking

hwen the probability of entering the study is related to presence or absence of the exposure, or the severity of the disease

confounding

preventive trials in which the interventions is implemented at the community level and are generally conducted when it would be impossible to offer the intervention at the individual level

community trials

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
